    Gender and breeds? 10 week old chicks taken home from daughter's classroom...

    Wow! Thanks for all of the comments! I will post more photos next week to see how they are progressing. I'm sad about so many possible roosters, but such is life.

    Thanks. In an effort to understand more about chickens, what makes you say that 1 and 4 boys? The eggs all came from a local farm, and were hatched in my daughter's classroom. There was no breed specification.

    Thank you! It does look like I posted pics of the same bird in the first and last shots. I may post one more of the 4th chicken, although he/she is the same breed, and looks similar to, the bird in photos 1 and 4. So it's likely another roo of mixed breed.

    Gender and breeds? 10 week old chicks taken home from daughter's classroom...

    When can I put chicks outside in extreme Arizona heat?

    I really appreciate the replies from Arizona! Our chicks are nearly 5 weeks old now, and the temps are going to drop to the low 100's. So they are getting the boot from the bathroom:) I put shade cloth over their little coop, which is in the dappled shade of a mesquite tree. They will get a...

    When can I put chicks outside in extreme Arizona heat?

    Thanks so much for the replies! Shallow pans of water for wading is an excellent idea, and I can handle putting ice into their drinking water. It would be lovely to have the bathroom back:)

    When can I put chicks outside in extreme Arizona heat?

    Hi everyone, We currently have 8 hens in an outside run. We also have 4 chicks (1 month old) living in our bathroom. We are desperate to put the chicks into their coop (a separate 3x3 hutch) outside and reclaim our bathroom! But it's consistently 105 degrees outside, and I'm worried about...
